Do letting agents check to see if new tenants are on housing benefit?

dss benefit

I am thinking of letting a new flat.

I am currently renting privately and i am on housing benefit.

However i wish to move to another private let but so many agents say no hosuing benefit or dss.

I just wondered what would happen if i just didnt mention it?

Are there standard checks they can carry out with the council or anything to make sure any potential tenants arent on benefits?

Thanks to anyone that knows.
